Fixed In Version: ovirt-3.5.0-beta1
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, the confirmation of installation settings in the hosted engine deployment wizard defaulted to 'No', which would require the whole deployment to be restarted if selected by accident. Now, the confirmation of installation settings defaults to 'Yes' and an answer file is created so that if the user does select 'No' the answer file can be used for skipping some of the setup.

Description Nikolai Sednev 2014-06-10 14:59:09 UTC
Description of problem:
At the end of the HE install wizard the default to install in "No", and if you choose it, it will forget all wizard settings.
Please consider on changing the default to yes, as customer usually follows the "next, next, next" scenario and in case of pressing in such order will be thrown off the installation, it's bad OOB experience and we could also think on ask additional question regarding changing the specific parameters, instead of throwing off the customer from the deployment setup.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-0.10.2-29.el6_5.8.x86_64
sanlock-2.8-1.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.415.el6_5.10.x86_64
vdsm-4.14.7-3.el6ev.x86_64
ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-1.1.2-5.el6ev.noarch
qemu-kvm-rhev-tools-0.12.1.2-2.415.el6_5.10.x86_64
qemu-img-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.415.el6_5.10.x86_64
ovirt-host-deploy-1.2.1-1.el6ev.noarch


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start HE deployment and when getting to yes/no regarding all parameters, just press enter, when default set to "no".


Actual results:
Defaults set to "NO".

Expected results:
Defaults should be "YES" or at least customer shouldn't be thrown off the deployment procedure.

Well, the default to No was decided in order to avoid that a user follows the "next, next, next" scenario approving the setup without actually checking that everything is ok.

This can be done only adding a question like "Are you really sure you want to abort the setup?" after the first "No". But are we really sure we want to go that way?

1.
Then why flows of HE and RHEVM setups aren't the same during their deployments? RHEVM steps are really common in their ending questions, only that in RHEVM it's OK instead of cancel by default, so it should be the same for HE as well, really don't see any difference here, customer should decide if to cancel the setup, next, next, next experience it terrible, just being thrown away from the whole bunch of previously set parameters, at least there have to be additional question, for if to exit the setup yes/no or at least a warning saying something like, "Warning! In case you're choosing "No", the setup will be terminated!"

2.
We don't have to throw away the customer at all, he/she can do that by himself/herself, ctrl+alt+c or any other sequence should be added and introduced to the customer right from the beginning of the whole deployment procedure, hence customer could exit whenever he decides to.

I'm fine with defaulting to yes if pm acks.

For how otopi framework is designed, reached the end of customization phase we can't rollback the "wizard" at this point, so only option here is either accept values and go on or exit.

Anyway customer have to be warned that cancelling will exit the deployment wizard and all parameters will be lost.

We possibly can consider on exiting and then auto entering to the deployment wizard using some loop mechanism, customer always knows how to exit using exit sequence.
